NCIS Los Angeles focused on the murder of an Afghan soldier working in the United States and the danger two of his fellow soldiers are in when a group attempts to abduct them in order try and find information on the Afghan army. At first, the team believes that the two Afghan soldiers who are missing killed the deceased soldier, but the case is more than it appears to be.
It turns out there is a group that is attempting to abduct the soldiers to discover information on the Afghan army’s intel regarding the opiate trade. The work they are doing would cut off a major route for the Taliban and the group is hoping the soldiers will give them the information.
The team is able to find out that one soldier, Kamal Pajman, got away, but Abdul, the third soldier, was abducted. This exonerates the soldiers of having anything to do with Fahad Ahmadi’s murder, but it’s a race to save their lives and make sure this group can’t find out what they are trying to discover.
As this is going on, Owen makes sure Sam is truly ready to be back in the field and Sam and Callen have a discussion over whether they have anything in common with one another. There are also some silly moments with Deeks, including an incident when he thinks he is alone while talking to himself.
Here's a look at the top ten moments from the latest episode, "Savior Faire." What did you like about this episode?

In an effort to see if Sam is really ready to be back after being shot in the last episode, Granger tells him he wants to see him in the gym doing Burpees.

7. Speak
Nell and Eric are working but Eric needs help tracking down the DEA agent who was responsible for the Afghan soldiers. Nell helps him figure out how to find her and they are able to see she is most likely at a bar, where Deeks and Kensi go to discover she is drinking heavily. She gives them information on the soldiers she was responsible for, which at this point, is before they know that the soldiers who are missing are actually in danger.

3. Monet
After a whole episode of Callen unable to find anything he has in common with Sam, Hetty tells him that they both have an appreciation for Monet. Callen is, of course, surprised Hetty would tell him this since she shouldn’t know about the discussion as it happened nowhere near her. But Hetty always knows.

2. Hang up
Hetty has a conversation with SecNav about the case at hand and is being reamed out while the team watches uncomfortably. Eric asks if they should leave, but Nell tells him she’s not moving. Hetty soon sends Nell to profile Kamal, which she is able to do, but ends up being wrong about his true motives in being in the United States.
